Took a day off work today (ATO) as I had to hang around this morning at home waiting for an Optus technician to attend and fix the internet connection.
I was going to run about mid afternoon and that all went out the window when the storms arrived. About 5 pm the weather had cleared somewhat and I guessed it would hold off for at least 30 mins and so I headed out for a run. I didn't really feel like a longish run today so elected for a quick, strong, fast 8 k's. I powered out for the first 5 k's and then eased off a little for the 6th k (I was getting tired). For the remaining 2 k's I picked up the pace again. All in all I'm quite happy with today's smash and grab effort.
Weather wise, as you can imagine it was very muggy. It was in the low 20's but the humidity was extremely high and clearly noticeable. After the run it seemed to take ages for me to stop sweating.
I've noticed today I've got a niggling pain in the middle of my back. I think it started yesterday, maybe the day before and I really can't put a finger on it as to what caused it. The last couple of months I've been more concerted in my stretching before and after most runs. As an aside I can nearly touch my toes (about 2 cm off - it was more like 6 or 7 cm two months ago). I'm wondering has the stretching caused a little problem in my back, maybe it's the sit-ups after every run or could it be the running itself. All I know right now is that I wish I had a rack and just let the misses stretch me out.
By the way, when I eventually touch my toes I'll make that a milestone.

I really need a Garmin. So much information. Just need to convince the the missus. Maybe when the new models come out.
Don't forget to let us know when you reach your toes! Great pics too!
Look after that back Steve, maybe take a day or 2 off, but I would first off start with lots of stretching. Start with the glute then the hamstrings, then the lower back, I can't remember why but it was suggested that way by a running physio who I have heard her say that to others???
